Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 6.5X55 swede bullet for elk hunt

Thanks for all the replies. Its looking like I will try the 140 Hornady based on recommendations so far. I haven't worked up a load yet but its a tikka so really not to worried. I'm thinking about trying Reloader 26 and see what happens. I'd like to see 2800 ish if possible

I already have a 130 accubond load with reloader 17 that worked great on 3 deer last year. All three passed through and offside hole were maybe a little smaller than a quarter so I'm assuming I have the tougher 130 accubonds. If the Hornady bullet for some reason doesn't pan out I will give the 130 accubond a try. There loaded to 2925 fps
